Ask to Join My Hero Academia: The Next Generation Of Heroes

[kyuukestu]

"Ahem."

Gwenrhian cleared her throat loudly to attract attention; she had, at some point, managed to slip onto the empty podium and now, she stood to address the passel of students. The clock had ticked past eight, and the eldest triplet knew that the other students would be looking for answers. Lucky for them, she was here to provide them.

"Good Evening freshman class. I'm Gwenrhian Scathach or just Gwen, and I'm the freshman representative for the first term." She lied, knowing that status, even a false one, would sell the act even more.

A harmless smoke slowly whispered into the room: released by a number of set-ups Gweneira had hidden around the lobby and had activated once Gwenrhian took the stage. The slow-growing shroud added an air of mystique, enhancing the ambiance as Gwenrhian presented a pre-prepared speech: a summary of the dorm's rules and regulations as found in UA's student handbook. The effect gave her speech an edge of officiality and anyone who had already read the student handbook could testify the veracity of these rules. The litany was brief as Gwenrhian had only wanted to buy time for Gwenerys to get into position. When she finished, she flashed a smile at the audience.

"Welcome to UA~!"

Suddenly, Gweneira's impromptu set-ups kicked into overdrive swiftly filling the room with smoke, and, with Gwenerys now in position, the Pillows went flying. It was a veritable barrage of pillows. Under the control of Gwenerys' « Grand Puppeteer » the pillows soared through the smoke, flying chaotically and erratically, as the youngest Gwen struggled just to keep them all airborne.

Gwenrhian grinned, preempting the mass confusion to come. She pulled out a pillow hidden beneath the podium and then, with a valiant battle cry, activated her quirk and leaped off the stage.

"PILLOW FIGHT!!!"

 

[ThAtGuY101]

Yu listened to Gwenrhian discuss rules and such, with a slack jaw goofy expression on Yu's face. As he listened he didn't notice the smoke enter the room. He had a feeling he'd be correct. He was a bit surprised to see pillows fly overhead, "pillow fight?!"Yu said excitedly jumping up and failing to grab a pillow. He stretched his arms grabbing a pillow ,and with his arms still outstretched smacked the closest person. He reverted his arms back with a smirk, "cool! Haha! Pillow fightin' is fun!" Yu said excitedly.

 

[OmnipotentOnion]

"Eh?"

Upon the sound of a girl clearing her throat, Miura turned his attention to Gwenrhian, a brow raised in curiosity. Is she actually the class rep? He had no recollection of any teacher disclosing to them who that would be; however, the teen honestly hadn't much of a care for that matter, so he decided to play along. Miura's foolish confidence that Gwen's status was legitimate continued to grow as she went over the U-A "campus norms" and such, and though he didn't quite understand why a reiteration of the handbook would warrant a class assembly, his indifference to the whole thing outweighed his skepticism.

Of course, that was all shot down and destroyed when everything else happened.

"Ehh?!"

Suddenly, the room was filled with pillows hurtling through the air along with plumes of smoke, as Gwenrhian’s battle cry rang amidst all the chaos. Nearly hit by and managing to catch a pillow that had been sent his way, Miura was shocked, to say the least, at what had transpired in the past couple of seconds as his mind gradually pieced together the elaborate plot that had been set into motion. However, all thoughts of confusion and worry were immediately dispelled by the bright aura of the room and its occupants, and as he tightened his grip on his new weapon, he decided to join in on the fun, leaping into the fray with a delighted laugh. Meeting Gwenrhian in midair after scanning the area and choosing the closest random target, he swung with his pillow, sent in an arc to parry the girl’s attack as his eyes sparkled with excitement.

 

[Jayblade]

Yusuke sat slouched down on his own as he payed attention to this Gwenrhian girl, who claimed to be their representative for the first time. “Not sure if I’m really buying that.” He mumbled under his breath. But as he was just a little skeptical to the legitimacy of what she said, he then heard something being shouted. “Huh? Pillow fight?” He was confused as he then stood up. “Well what do I do? Join in? Or go back to my dorm and enjoy some alone time? Pfffft. Who’m I kidding, that sounds boring! I’m definitely joining in on this!” Yusuke thought to himself as he grabbed a pillow.

 

[Red Gallade]

Benjiro's eyes widened in surprise at the loud announcement alongside the bombardment of pillows. "A pillow fight? Really?" He asked rhetorically as he quickly flipped off of the couch to avoid a pillow. "Not what I had in mind in terms of fun." He said before he sighed and decided to try and walk back to his dorm room for a bit more peace and quiet. "I don't know about you Yusuke, but I tend to enjoy some alone time." Benjiro said to Yusuke.

 

[Jayblade]

Yusuke turned to Benjiro, “Yeah, I bet you do don’t ya?” Yusuke replied, as he then looked down at his pillow smirking and snickering. He began to edge closer to Benjiro while whistling, as he then took his opportunity, swinging his pillow right at him. “Ha! Gotcha!” He then began laughing as he moved away just in case he was gonna hit him back.

 

[~Rinko~]

(Ruriko Shirogane)

Ruriko sighed as Gwenrhian began; her small smile fading for a moment, until the pillow fight started, when the silver-blue haired girl grabbed a few pillows, before throwing one at a boy with light pink skin.

“This is so much fun!” Ruriko screeched, throwing the other pillows she clutched, one by one, back over to the stage, trying her hardest to hit the eldest triplet with at least one of them.


(Hikari Shinpi)

Hikari stood by the side of the stage, hoping that it wouldn’t take too long to go over the rules, though, despite her impatience, she was still rather disappointed to realise that wasn’t the point of the ‘meeting’.

“...Idiots... wasting time like this when everyone should be doing their hardest to study and train...” she muttered, heading out to pick up some of her stuff.

 

[Godjacob]

W-wait wait what...pillow what!?
​

Needless to say Asami had been a bit off guard by this sudden announcement. The false presentation caused her to think this would be a bit more official than a Saturday night sleep over game, and yet here they were. Pillows suddenly appeared all over as the call to action was made and while she was confused other students had been quick to strike as she grabbed a pillow and dove to safety already having felt the panic & pressure even from this game.

Asami naturally held the pillow like a shield and eyed everyone around her, adopting a more defensive style to begin with as she waited to see who'd try to strike her first.

 

[Red Gallade]

Benjiro was caught by surprise when he was suddenly hit by a pillow. Normally, a wise man would let it slide and call it a day, although the pride of the Shinigami family ran within every one of it's members whether they liked it or not and Benjiro was certainly no exception. Benjiro slowly turned his head towards Yusuke with an intimidating sneer. "So you have chosen death..." He said as he turned around and immediately caught a pillow that fell his way, once he had a pillow in hand, he began to slowly step towards Yusuke with a vicious look in his eyes and tilted his head to the sides until the click of his bones were heard.

 

[Jayblade]

“Huh?” Yusuke replied as Benjiro came walking towards him, it slightly began to scare him after a while. He then began to walk back slowly, with his pillow in hand to protect him. “Wait what am I doing? This is a pillow fight!? I’m acting scared like he’s about to kill me...” Yusuke thought to himself as he then began to walk back over, with his pillow ready to attack this time just in case.

 

[kyuukestu]

A grin of puerile glee split Gwenrhian's lips as someone she didn't recognize met her pillow with his own. She had thought she would need to find her own opponents, but to her surprise, someone had found her instead. She leaped backward, opening the distance between herself and Miura and nailed him with a challenging gaze, tinged with haughtiness.

"Bold of you to target me first!" Her vision, enhanced by her quirk, swept over her foe and assessed him while her ears perked to the surrounding conversations and movements. All seemed to be going well, so she trained her focus on Miura.

"I'm sure you know who I am, it's only polite to introduce yourself before a duel."

Not that she would let him though—"En guard!"

Lunging forward, Gwenrhain brought her pillow down in a great overhead swing.

 

[OmnipotentOnion]

As the two pillows collided and Gwenrhian created a gap between her and her assailant, Miura met her gaze with a cool, unwavering stare of his own, an amused smile clear on his face.

"Bold? Maybe; you were just the easiest to get to from my position, so I thought I'd take the opportunity life presented."

Having dispersed his own aura to scan his surroundings and identify any variables to keep in mind around the battlefield, he had also deemed it safe to maintain his attention to the girl before him. Soon after he had finished surveying his surroundings, she had advanced toward him, swinging her arm downward; in response, Miura darted forward as well and gripped his weapon with both hands. As the two clashed once again, the boy met Gwenrhian's overhead swing directly, blocking it with the pillow he now held above his head. A grin was now much more visible as he continued to maintain his smug demeanor and evenly match the girl's eyes.

"Well, of course I know who you are, 'Freshman Representative' Gwenrhian Scathach."

Suddenly, he released his left hand's grip on the pillow and spun counter-clockwise, easily darting to Gwen's left. As he began to spin the soft, fluffy death-bringer on the tip of his index finger, Miura gave the girl a small salute with his free hand, introducing himself with a smirk.

"Miura Satoru; it's a pleasure."

With that, he pushed his pillow into the air before grabbing it and lunging forward, aiming a swing at Gwenrhian's side.

"Allez!"

 

[kyuukestu]

As her foe spun out of the way of her attack, Gwenrhian staggered forward. Enhancing her sense of balance, she recovered within three steps, and on the third step, she spun on her heels, bringing her face-to-face with her opponent, who now introduced himself as Miura.

She refocused her quirk on her vision, eyes tracking her opponent as he took the initiative and forced her on the defensive. She braced her pillow at her side and parried Miura's blow. She took the moment, while they were in close proximity to quip back at him.

"You can just call me Prez, I won't mistreat you~"

She gave him a playful wink. then she leaped backward and abandoned her pillow entirely. She sprung into acrobatics: retreating with a pair of hand-springs that led into a Double Arabian. She snatching two pillows out of the air at the zenith of her flip and used her rotary motions to then hurl them at Miura.

 

[Red Gallade]

"Get over here you-!" As it sounded like Benjiro was about to call Yusuke something insulting, he immediately went to swing his pillow directly for his hip. "Let's see how you like it!" He said, clearly frustrated. Benjiro's mind was dead set on the one who hit him with a pillow and whenever someone hit him, he wouldn't rest until he hit them back even harder.

 

[Jayblade]

Yusuke gulped as Benjiro swung the pillow at him. It hit him directly in his hip forcing to make him to fall on the ground. That was it for him. He began to grit his teeth as he got himself back up. He then began to clench his fists. “That’s it!” He shouted angrily. “Come at me again!” He shouted as he again grabbed his pillow, which he dropped as he fell. He was now taking this pillow fight seriously, growing up with three siblings he tended to have a lot of competitive spirit and it was definitely beginning to shine through, a bit too much.

 

[OmnipotentOnion]

A glint of amusement shone in Miura's eyes as Gwen winked at him and fired back a response, and with a trace of light-hearted teasing in his voice, he responded with mock-formality.

"As you wish, 'Prez'."

Her sudden burst of nimble flips and movements briefly caught Miura by surprise, but he was able to shake himself out of his stupor in time to avoid the two projectiles the girl had flung at him as he began his own approach toward her. The momentum with which Gwen had hurled the pillows did much to increase their speed, but after ducking under the first, Miura smirked and turned to the side, watching the second fly in front of his face. Suddenly, he snatched the pillow out of its trajectory and did a quick spin before flinging it back at the airborne girl.

Miura broke into a sprint as he retrieved another pillow from the ground, and after focusing his aura into his legs, he leapt through the air, reaching Gwenrhian rather quickly with his weapon clutched in both his hands. Before Miura brought the pillow down in an overhead swing, his smirk seemed to grow wider as he kept up the banter between him and his opponent, even flashing a wink of his own.

"You won't mistreat me? That may be true, but surely it wouldn't be any fun if you didn't try, would it~?"

 

[kyuukestu]

Even with the chaos around her, Gwenrhian had still picked up on Miura's playful talk-back. Prez did sound pretty nice. Maybe she would go after the position after all?

Her musings were cut short when a pillow cudgeled her side. Her balance was momentarily throw off as she caught it on the rebound before sticking a shakier-than-usual landing. Her senses had kicked into overdrive, her eyes scintillating with ocean-blue patterns as she met Miura's blow with her own sweeping swing. The horribly abused pillow gave way under the force of the collision: exploding into a cloud of feathers and fluff.

Gwenrhian stuck her tongue out at Miura, though she was unsure if he could see her through the fluff.

"As you wish, but I'll need to have you play with someone else for now."

Gwenrhian slipped backward under the cover of the exploded pillow. She darted off and tagged in her youngest sister, Gwenerys. She'd keep Miura occupied while Gwenrhian checked up on the other pillow fighters.

No longer trying to control all the pillows in the room, the youngest triplet limited herself to three, which floated by her side as she faced off with Miura, arms crossed and a smug smile plastered over her lips.

"Hmpf, you shall not pass."

 

[OmnipotentOnion]

Play with someone else?

As the third and final clash between Miura and Gwenrhian resulted in an explosion of feathers that obstructed the boy's vision of his opponent, his confusion at the girl's parting words prevented him from questioning the sudden retreat, and as he landed on the ground, it only multiplied when, as the debris cleared, he found himself face to face with... Gwen. As his eyes focused on the smug triplet, the aura that laced his vision confirmed that the aura surrounding the girl did not belong to 'Prez' Gwenrhian, but rather to a sister of hers, and Miura failed to stifle a laugh of amusement.

"Hehhh... I had heard about a set of pretty incredible triplets coming to UA this year, but now that I'm seeing you guys for myself, you all really do look scary identical."

However, he soon evenly matched Gwenerys with his own smirk as he picked up and brandished a new pillow that had been on the ground nearby. The three pillows that hovered around the youngest sister would most likely prove to be quite troublesome if utilized efficiently, and Miura had been planning his method of attack when suddenly, an angered yell broke through his train of thought. Turning to locate the source of the sound, he watched two boys—who seemed to have taken the casual pillow fight a tad too far—begin to swing their pillows with much stronger force than necessary. With a brow raised inquisitively, Miura exited his fighting position and gestured for Gwenerys to watch as well.

"Is it just me, or does that situation seem a little dangerous?"

 

[Godjacob]

OMG OMG OMG OMG this is crazy this is crazy this is crazy!

For something that at the end of the day was meant to be a casual, fun pillow fight game it seemed to get a bit intense very quickly, somehow the sisters and really some of the other students turned this into a competitive "high stakes" game of pillow fighting as Asami had been unsure if this was the best idea or not.

Either way, in spite of her worries, she felt she should try to get "in the spirit" with this and saw Yu's attention was elsewhere. So sheepishly she moved over and aimed to try and hit him with her pillow from behind.

 

[kyuukestu]

Gweneira

Having two other people who looked just like you was both blessing and curse. Gweneira would find her 'scary identical' looks to be very much a curse this time. Within the chaos and smoke, it was easy to confuse the triplets for one another. That was exactly what appeared to have happened as Gweneira was blindsided for a pillow meant for Gwenrhian. The second sister immediately identified the source of her woe, and how could she not? The girl was screeching like a banshee and rapid-firing pillows. Wheeling with pillows in hand Gweneira returned fire on Ruriko.

Gwenerys

Miura's concerns met cavalier indifference, expressed with a shrug.

"Sister will take care of it."

The fight between the two boys didn't look that bad to Gwenerys. Their attacks, though passionate, were non-threatening. The boys also didn't appear to be using their quirks, though Gwenerys couldn't really tell because she didn't know what their quirks were. So far so good. If it got more dangerous then her sister would be on it. In any case— "You should worry more about yourself..."

A grand gesture sent two of her pillows surging forward, aiming to close in on Miura from either side while leaving the remaining pillow behind to protect herself.

 

[OmnipotentOnion]

"Sister will take care of it."

Miura let out an amused chuckle and murmured under his breath, "Maybe she really should run for Class Rep."

Her nonchalant demeanor with which Gwenerys had given her own two cents on the situation shouldn't have done much to quell his concerns, but a part of his mind agreed. Under brief scrutiny with the help of his aura during their face-off, Gwenrhian definitely had an air of firm rationality and confidence about her, so it was far from unreasonable to trust that she would be able to calm things down should they heat up.

Upon hearing the youngest triplet's last remark, Miura returned his attention to her just in time to see two of the pillows she had held hurtling toward him from both sides. He had been too slow by an incredibly small margin; with the projectiles flung forward with surprising speed, he was just the slightest bit late to react and met the cushiony weapons with an unprotected face, getting absolutely beaned. The shock of getting hit that followed quickly wore off, however, and the prospect of how ridiculous he looked prompted a short laugh of amusement.

Narrowing his eyes as a smirk gradually pulled at the corners of his lips once he had regained his composure, Miura lunged forward and leapt at the girl, bringing both pillows back for a right hook swing at her side. With Gwenerys' quirk that seemingly allowed her to control the movement of inanimate objects—from what he inferred upon first glance—attempting to throw anything at her would prove to be futile, so with this in mind, the boy opted for close-quarters combat.

 

[Red Gallade]

"Oh no, after you." Benjiro replied as he raised his pillow to more of a defensive stance, he was aware that the was... a little bit angry when he struck Yusuke to the ground, but his sister always told him to keep it in check as the more he let his emotions get to him, the more likely he was to make reckless decisions... and he also didn't like the cautious attention from the other pillow fighters. "Try and fight back; it'll make my victory a lot more satisfying."

 

[kyuukestu]

Gwenerys

For all her pomp and haughtiness, Gwenerys knew better than to engage someone who could trade blows with her eldest sister. Gwenrhian was easily the most athletic and physically capable among the triplets and her quirk was best suited for close-combat as well. If Miura was anything like her, then Gwenerys knew she had no chance. With that in mind, the youngest triplet did what any reasonable person would do in this situation.

"Eeek! Stay away!"

She turned tail and fled at top speed. She darted for the other side of the room, grabbing pillows off the ground and hastily throwing them towards Miura in attempts to obstruct him. If he wanted to close the gap on her then he'd have to work for it, and if the mischievous smirk on her lips was anything to judge by, then his task would be easier said than done.

 

[OmnipotentOnion]

Upon hearing Gwenerys' shrill cry and watching her immediately begin to hastily retreat, Miura's expression instantly changed to one of confusion. Her demeanor had been so haughty and smug when she had taken him by surprise, but at the first few movements of his strategy to close the gap between them, she was quick to flee. Despite what seemed like a startled attempt at easing a clearly undesirable situation during their fight, the youngest triplet was surprisingly quick on her feet, traversing the pillow-ridden floor within seconds with ease. Having unexpected her agility, Miura -- oblivious of the smug grin that had been on her Gwen's face -- suspected that this was an act of desperation.

The several pillows that now flew at him did more than enough to throw off his vision for a few moments, and as soon as the masses of fluff cleared, Gwen was out of sight. However, a few seconds' aura focused into his eyes helped Miura locate the girl, still moving and still grabbing pillows from the ground. As he caught a pillow that flew at his face, his smirk returned; faintly visible, silver light began to emanate around his feet to give him the speed boost he needed to keep up with Gwenerys, and after taking a deep breath, the boy surged forward, dashing after his opponent and weaving around other students partaking in the fun.

I don't know what game she's playing, but fine: let's play.

 

[kyuukestu]

Gwenerys

Miura's speed was quite frankly alarming. The few glances she could steal were enough to tell her that the boy hopelessly outclassed her. There was no possible way that she could escape him, he was just too fast. The girl thought furiously, but if she couldn't outpace him and she couldn't beat him, then she would have to just stop him. How was she going to do that though? She was just going to ask.

"Stopstopstopstopstopstopstopstop! Stop!!"

Whirling around to face her pursuer the girl simply asked—no, commanded—him to stop, leveling a right glare at him in a bid to intimidate him to a halt.

 

[OmnipotentOnion]

"Uh—"

Gwenerys' strategy had succeeded, and upon hearing the girl's command to stop where he was, Miura's grin of excitement quickly changed into a 'half-smile' of confusion. Her intense glare hadn't done much to stop him as the abruptness of the order, leaving him more bewildered than intimidated. Tilting his head to the side, Miura continued to stand there in innocent confusion, puzzled as to how they were supposed to progress from here. Upon some self-reflection, the boy inferred from the recent interactions between him and his opponent that his sudden boost in speed and preference of fighting in close proximity had most likely placed Gwenerys into a corner. Dropping his pillow, Miura's smile turned into an apologetic one as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Ah, it's not very much fun if you have to constantly run away, is it? My bad for pressing the offensive like that."

Gwenerys' fiery gaze meant to intimidate him continued to have very little effect on Miura, but he did sneak a look around his surroundings to make sure that the two hadn't attracted too much attention and avoid embarrassment. Getting seen with a girl that was a handful of inches shorter than him and telling him very strongly to stop was definitely a situation that 1. Could be so horribly misinterpreted and 2. Miura had no intention of having to deal with.

 

[ThAtGuY101]

"oof..." Yu went as he got hit with a pillow from behind. He then swung his arms overhead and behind him in a downwards motion hoping to hit whomever was behind him. He then turned to see Asami, "Nice try but I got you! ha!" Yu said swinging his pillow again, this time horizontally.

~meanwhile...~

Zasha began making her way downstairs ,and noticed a huge pillow fight! "Wait what?! This is what you goofs been up to! Zasha overheard Hikari talk about the pillow fight. Seeing this as a perfect time to strike she chuckled, "Train huh? Your not scared of a little pillow fight are you? That's too bad... Its fine... Wouldn't want to get hurt now by a pillow I guess... Have fun training" Zasha said jokingly with a sarcastic expression before swinging her pillow.

 

[kyuukestu]

Gwenerys

'I can't believe that actually worked...'

There had been some faint hope in the girl's heart that her sudden actions would utterly baffle her foe, but she hadn't expected him to actually stop. She'd been prepared to take a fluffy whacking and then return it with a vengeance, but it seemed her opponent was a nice guy. Too much of a nice guy.

"You know, they say nice guys finish last..." Gwenerys set her arms on her hips, voice incredulous as she raised a curious eyebrow at Miura. "I think they were right."

Raising her hand she simply pointed behind the boy. Gwenerys' quirk allowed her to control the trajectory of objects, but only if she had touched them beforehand. Namely, this meant all the pillows she had been 'randomly' throwing at Miura beforehand were catching up to him now that he had stopped.

Gwenerys stuck out her tongue—"Sorry, not sorry."—and promptly attempted to bury Miura with the wave of pillows.

 

[OmnipotentOnion]

"Say that again? Nice guys fini—mmpH!"

At the same time he felt something strike the back of his head, Miura's voice suddenly sounded much more muffled as his body fell victim to a storm of pillows. As his head was pelted by countless fluff bags of death, his mind was easily able to piece together what he hadn't caught from Gwenerys' remark.

They finish last. That's where they finish.

With a sigh and somewhat exasperated laugh that was most likely inaudible under the constant pummeling he had been receiving, Miura jumped back from the pile of pillows in which he had been nearly buried, and as he knocked aside others that had been hurtling toward him with his hands and feet, he snagged one from the air and lunged forward, pushing against the seemingly endless swarm until he was close enough to Gwen.

"You played me like a fiddle, Scathach," He remarked with an amused smirk before aiming a right hook swing at her side.

 

[~Rinko~]

(Hikari Shinpi)

Hikari was just leaving the building, when she heard someone commenting on what she had said. “No, that is not, why I am disappoi-” she began, when a pillow hit her straight in the face, “How dare you, hit me, like that!” Hikari said, picking up a pillow on the floor and lunging at Zasha.

(Ruriko Shirogane)

Ruriko smiled as she saw one of the pillows she threw hitting who she thought was Gwenrhian, before dashing off to dodge the return attack. The short, chesty girl picked up another pillow and tossed it as hard as she could at the middle triplet.

“Ha! I’ll get you again!” Ruriko shouted out, “Wait, that didn’t come out how I thought it would... or did I intend for that? No... I don’t think I did.” she mumbled to herself, losing focus on the pillow onslaught surrounding her for a short while.

 

[ThAtGuY101]

"Haha! Got em'... Oh shoot!" Zasha remarked jokingly before seeing Hikari lung forward Zasha nearly Tripped and fell. "I guess you decided to stick around after all" Zasha remarked with a confident smile. Not wanting to be made a clown after that display of bravado. Jokingly or not, that was not something she was planning on losing so easily. She hastily tried to brace herself before impact.

 

[kyuukestu]

Gweneira

"Oh no, you won't!"

Gweneira nimbly avoided Ruriko's counter attack by diving beneath one of the lobby's couches. She took a peek over the cushions, spending only a second to two to confirm Ruriko's position. With her target identified Gweneira darted from behind the couch and snagged a pillow from off the ground. Now equipped, the middle triplet went on the offensive. She jumped on one of the tables and then leaped for her opponent, attempting to bring down an overhead swing.

Gwenerys

A self-satisfied smirk betrayed the youngest Gwen's satisfaction. Her expression turned haughty once more, relishing her unexpected success and the resulting pillow-burial she had been able to afford her innocuous counterpart. Alas, all good things eventually came to an end. The pillows had no hope of restraining Miura for longer than a moment and the boy leaped from the pile.

The triplet blanched as he deftly deflected what remained of her arsenal and renewed his assault. She scrambled backward in a futile bid for escape but in the end, karma prevailed.

"Like a puppet," Gwenerys snickered and corrected, pausing only to let out a squeal as Miura brandished his pillow against her. She didn't dodge—she wasn't fast enough to escape from this range—so all she could do was block: brandishing her arms to protect her face.

 

[OmnipotentOnion]

Miura had just barely been able to suppress a hearty laugh of amusement upon seeing Gwenerys’ haughty demeanor almost immediately snap to a startled one as he approached; after taking a few seconds to shake himself back into focus, he grinned once more and shrugged before continuing his attack.

“Yeah, yeah; whatever.”

As he watched Gwen quickly bring her arms to her face, the boy gripped his pillow with both hands before delivering a moderate wallop to the side of his opponent’s partially protected head. The swing hadn’t been powerful enough to completely knock Gwenerys over, but it packed enough of a punch to make her at least flinch as her arms tried to bear the brunt of the impact. Miura typically tried to avoid situations in which he struck a girl—as his father had taught him repeatedly—but with a casual event such as this involving normally harmless objects, he concluded he would be safe in such an environment and therefore had no intention of delivering any less than what had been given.

 

[Godjacob]

"Eeep! N-no you don't." Asami said, as she tried to sound playful though her nerves made it a bit more fearful reaction as she held up her pillow to block the blow. Asami was not used to such interactions, she never had a sibling so she was not used to a good "pillow fight" but tried her best to well be part of the action in spite of her nerves around people.

Asami aimed to push off and tried a vertical swing aiming to bop him right on the head.

 

[ThAtGuY101]

"Ah shoot!" Yu went as his pillow strike was blocked. Yu hopped back in hopes of dodging the hit but still got hit anyways as the couch was behind him, "Ha, you got me. Time for my... Ultimate weapon! Helicopter pillow!" Yu said. He slid his right foot off the ground as he lifted his leg high of the ground. With a twisting motion he turned his foot ,and rotated his hips. As he stomped on the ground he thrusted his weight forward into his pillow strike. He began spinning his arm out in all directions like a helicopter which ultimately slapped himself across the face, "Oof!" Yu went. He then reverted his arm back full force which swung out further reach the second time around in hopes of landing a hit. Yu's arm spun around as it reverted so fast Yu nearly fell down from the momentum. "Ha! I'm the king! of pillow fighting!" Yu said cheerfully.

 

[Godjacob]

"The h-helicopter pillow?" Asami asked, as she was unsure what to make of that promise but sure enough Yu decided to take this game to the next level as he stomped down and began to spin in place with his pillow as he worked to pick up speed while Asami raised her guard and by extension her pillow.

I-I see, this isn't a casual pillow fighter....he seems to be an expert. His skill is not to be overlooked...

However in this tense showdown Asami had allowed herself the mistake of lowering her guard. Specifically, when Yu first hit himself in the fact with a pillow which caused her to blink in confusion before she got a light chuckle out of it. But this careless mistake on the field of battle would prove to be quite the error in judgement as Yu rebounded and managed to smack her in the face as she was knocked back.

"Oof!"

 

[Jayblade]

Yusuke then clenched his pillow as hard as he could and then began to walk towards Benjiro. “Arrrrhhhhh!” He screamed as his walk began to turn into a run. When he reached Benjiro he prepared for a huge swing. “This is what he’s gonna get for knocking me down like that!” Yusuke’s very short temper didn’t work great for something like a pillow fight, and he was definitely proving that.

 

[DarkHydraT]

Zidane looked at the chaos that unfolded and for once, both heads were speechless. A pillow fight? Really?

"So what are the rules? Is there a point system or is it until someone yields?"

"How am I supposed to know? We both know that we never participated in these fights back in Saudi-Arabia, let alone here."

"How about we watch and learn? A nice benefit from having two heads is that you can look in two directions. If someone comes from behind, switch control to me and I can take care of it."

The left head smirked. "Sometimes you have your moments." Picking up a pillow, Zidane watched the fights unfold whilst being primed to jump into action.

Benjiro readied his pillow as he watched Yusuke charge at him and prepare what looked like a huge swing, clearly he didn't take too kindly to his 'punishment' for hitting him when all he wanted was some peace and quiet... but with this, something told him he would have to fight for it. He raised his pillow to block Yusuke's attack, the force of it certainly proved it was a hard one, one that might have caused the feathers inside to fly everywhere... and he certainly wouldn't stay around to clean up what would have been Yusuke's mess, Benjiro quickly moved to one of Yusuke's sides to try and hit him from there. The attack didn't seem as hard as his other attacks, which must mean he was a bit more calm... just a bit.

As Yu realized his helicopter attack landed a blow he became momentarily concerned, Uuughh... Are you okay?" Yu said scratching his head in confusion. Yu lifted his pillow up just in case she was faking it. Usually Yu's younger sister would do that all the time before throwing in a sucker strike.

~Meanwhile...~

paperwork scattered across a dimly lit desk in a dark room. All sorts of spider droid blueprints ranging from simple cooling systems to advanced cloaking mechanisms. Silva had it all across his desk. Silva stood there hunched over his desk with his elbows locked ,and the palms of his hands firmly planted against the desk. Silva had a hot glass of coffee on the counter to his left to keep him awake. Silva didn't particularly enjoy the taste of the coffee ,but it was sufficient enough in performing its intended task, to keep him awake. Silva began examining his blueprints ,and further writing notes as well as more elaborate detail to them as he further messed around with his spider droid. For the most part this was his way of using down time. His experiments didn't always yield fruit ,but he always gained valuable insight into his craft with every successful or failed attempt at improving his gadgets.

Silva slightly cringed upon taking a sip of black coffee. The lack of sweeteners left a bitter taste in Silva's mouth. Despite this he didn't once regret not buying sugar. A waste of money. Silva began tinkering on his spider droid again. He began detaching its legs ,and switched out some of the parts in the legs to allow the spider droid to move around with more fluid natural movements. Less clunky steps. He quickly attached the legs again ,and began wondering how he could improve the AI functions or the sensor ability.

He then leaned back and began wondering about the new school year, "Another year, another paycheck ,and another bunch of rowdy goofball kids... Another bunch of optimistic kids thinking their cute little quirks can saaaave the world. How the principal managed to convince me to work as a teacher still boggles my mind. Though the benefits do outweigh the cons to say the least ,and seeing promising students is a bit of an incentive I suppose" Silva thought to himself. He then placed his hand onto his spider droid ,and began hacking into its neural interface as he activated it. All lights on the spider droid began shining ,and the spider droid began transmitting messages in binary to which Silva began writing down ,and taking note.
